"It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it. (Anne Shirley)" LM Montgomery

In the story, Anne invites her bosom friend, Diana Barry over for afternoon tea and was allowed to serve rasberry cordial, but because poor Anne had never had rasberry cordial before, she accidently served red current wine which Diana downed 3-4 tumblers full, became immediately intoxicated and went home and threw up in her garden. That's when her mother found her and bansihed her from ever seeing her best friend ever again.

This rasberry cordial that this lovely little Anne girl served us could have caused the same effect - it wasn't alcoholic, but it would have made me sick if I drank the whole thing. Apparently in Canada, they don't add water to concentrate mix!
